Oh yeah, I'm on Bluesky too, BTW

UPDATE: May 17th, 2024:
So, this journal is a bit outdated now. You no longer need an invite to join Bluesky, and Twitter's finally reached the point where it's no longer technically usable. Just gives me an error saying that my browser is too secure. 🙃
So, I was planning on fully abandoning Twitter by August 14th, the anniversary of when I joined Bluesky, but it seems that Elon wanted me out sooner. Oh well. 🤷♂️

So, um, Twitter's always been slowly crashing and burning, but it started accelerating at a ridiculous rate as soon as Emperor Godbaby bought it, and it's gone from kinda sucking to really sucking.
Twitter's kinda been my main place to exist for the past few years since Tumblr and deviantArt and a certain Mastodon instance all shot themselves in the foot, so I'm not really enjoying this at all. 🙃
Anyway, I'm mostly on Bluesky at the moment.
I know it being invite-only kinda sucks, and I'd invite everyone if I could, but it's the most Twitter-like twitterlike that I've used so far, and it's also the one with more of my friends and mutuals, so that makes it feel less lonely to me than the alternatives.
Anyway, follow me there if you can, but don't fret about it if you can't. I'll try to keep posting doodles on Twitter for a while as long as it's technically usable, and also here when I think they're actually worth posting.
("Technically usable" probably won't last long though, considering that he's threatened to completely remove the block button, and I already have to repeatedly re-block certain accounts that keep magically unblocking themselves. Once that button is gone, I'm out of there forever. 🙃)
Also, please nobody tell me to try mastodon or tumblr or dA again. Anyone who suggests that will, in fact, go to hell before they die. Thanks. :)

FA+

Seriously, people need to stop suggesting Mastodon and Tumblr and dA, those places are awful.
